The Free National Movement

The Free National Movement The FNM was founded in 1971 to provide competent, caring and honest governance for all Bahamians.

The Free National Movement emerged from a struggle for increased accountability and transparency. The party initially fought against political corruption and victimization, eventually evolving into a government that set a standard for future administrations in The Bahamas. More than 40 years ago, the visionary founders of the FNM recognized the lack of democratic principles within the ruling party

at the time. They distinguished themselves by adopting the motto "FREE" and committed themselves to uphold the highest standards of service, driven by their love for the country and a dedication to fair and equitable representation for all Bahamians. Today, the FNM continues to be held in high regard, both nationally and internationally. The party takes pride in its reputation and its history, with past FNM leaders being revered as figures of great character, honor, and ethical standards, vehemently opposing corruption and victimization. The Free National Movement stands as a party that values honesty, integrity, vision, commitment, fairness, and inclusion.

Just answer the question, Prime Minister.

Did you and your government give housing contracts to the recently slain Warren ‘Spy’ Ellis? Instead of throwing a tantrum and attacking journalists doing their job, you should own up to your own actions.

Bahamians want to know why you’re so touchy about the subject? After all, your government gave tens of millions of dollars in a housing contract to Eric ‘Player’ Gardiner, the convicted drug felon. So no one is surprised that your government would again be doling out more Bahamian taxpayer money to sketchy characters the police are investigating locally and internationally.

These are serious matters Prime Minister. And lashing out at news reporters only confirms that you know what you are doing is wrong, and that no responsible government would do business with persons known to be actively involved in nefarious activities. Bahamian taxpayer funds must never serve as a vehicle for potential money laundering or the enrichment of people involved in illegality.

Furthermore, Prime Minister, did your government also contract Mr Ellis and his team to demolish the domes in Abaco and enforce the final set of evictions of residents?

When the FNM team visited Abaco to protest the evictions, no government agency was present, except for those persons contracted to remove the remaining domes, which had the last group of families resisting the eviction.

Tell the truth, and shame the devil.

I was saddened to hear that Neville Wisdom passed away today.

He was a serious, committed public servant from his youth, learning from his father, the former General Manager of ZNS. Wisdom was heavily involved with young people; He was a longstanding track-and-field coach, particularly with the Bain Town Flyers Track Club, where he coached prominent Bahamian athletes including Pauline Davis and Frank Rutherford.

Later, as Minister under the first Christie administration, he held portfolios that included responsibility for youth, sports, culture and housing. His work helped shape the framework that still guides Bahamian sports today, including the Sports Authority Act, and his support for the Bahamas Baseball Federation opened doors for young Bahamians to pursue baseball at higher levels, including in Major League organizations.

What I always respected about Minister Wisdom was his refusal to accept the easy argument that our young people deserve more punishment than investment. He fiercely believed youth deserve to be challenged and assisted toward greatness, not managed through incarceration. That conviction shaped his approach to public policy, and this country still needs voices to carry it forward.

Minister Wisdom and I sat on different sides of the aisle, but public service in The Bahamas has never been the property of one party. His service deserves to be saluted and remembered.

To his wife, Manita, and the Wisdom family, I encourage you to find comfort in knowing that his work outlives him, in the young athletes still coming up through the systems he built, and in a life that was full and well lived.

On behalf of my wife, Berlice and the entire Free National Movement family, our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this time.

Hon. Michael C. Pintard

Today, FNM supporters in Grand Bahama gathered at Kingdom Worship Centre to give God thanks for our historic 1992 victory.

In that election, Grand Bahamians delivered five of our party's candidates into the House of Assembly, and they would help form the first FNM term in government - C.A. Smith (Pineridge), Neko Grant (Lucaya), Maurice Moore (High Rock), David Thompson (Marco City) and James M. Pinder (Eight Mile Rock).

We thank God for their sacrifice, dedication and the legacy that continues to inspire us in the present day 🙏🏽
